Mechanics tools discussion

[Tynee]

So, I've recently developed a bit of a Snap-on obsession. It hasn't cost me the house yet, but it's a fine line a man has to tread...

It got me to wondering what others around here prefer, Snap-on, Craftsman, Mac, Matco...? What do you like and why? Are you brand loyal? Maybe you use one brand of tools, and another brand of storage? Maybe you mix and match as you find bargains? Do you like the newer or the vintage stuff better? Are you a pro, a shade-tree, or somewhere in between?

I don't intend for this to be a thread where we critique other's opinions, but I am interested in hearing some varying thoughts on the matter.

The floor is yours...
